Suggested ideas
There are two levels of education in the formal school system in
Vietnam – Primary education, and secondary education
(secondary and upper secondary education). Primary and lower
secondary education are compulsory in Vietnam. Children start
to go to primary school at the age of six and after 5 year they
move to lower secondary school where they stay for 4 year.
When they finish lower secondary school, they have to take an
examination held in early June every year. The academic year,

of May. The first term is from September to December. After
